Mahler’s Third Symphony is a kind of musical creation story: The piece, wrote the composer, “gives all of nature a voice,” even the most secretive aspects. The work tells of plants, animals, and humans – and of divine love as the highest form of all being.

Sounds from nature, echoing calls, military and funeral marches lead up to an overwhelming final hymn.


The performance is conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Chief Conductor of the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Philadelphia Orchestra.

The vocal soloist is Joyce DiDonato, one of the best-loved mezzo-sopranos of our time.
